A fire engine overturned along the Asse Mediano in Cagliari, injuring a 24-year-old firefighter who was taken to Brotzu Hospital with critical condition.
The accident occurred around 12pm.
The fire truck driven by the 24-year-old, the only driver on board, was coming from Carbonia and headed to the provincial headquarters on Viale Marconi. Upon reaching Via dei Valenzani, the truck overturned for unknown reasons, possibly following a collision with the guardrail.
A call for help was immediately made, and the local police, 118 ambulances, and firefighters arrived on the scene. The injured person was treated and taken to the hospital while the local police carried out the investigation and cleared the vehicles.
The Asse Mediano was closed for about an hour to allow for surveys and rescue operations.
